According to Puan, the enforcement of the new Criminal Code is a history for the Indonesian nation to obtain legal justice.
"This is a historic milestone for the Indonesian people in the context of legal reform, legal democratization, and legal harmonization so that it is more in line with the Pancasila values rooted in local wisdom to realize just law," said Puan.
Puan also said that during this trial, the DPR together with the Government will continue to strive to meet the national legal needs that have been agreed upon in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas).
"Discussion of the draft law cannot always be completed in a short time," said Puan.
Puan explained that the in-depth material was a process of dialogue to absorb public aspirations, as well as differences in views between the Government and the DPR RI that needed to be carefully coordinated. Where according to him, the process often takes longer.
"So that a meeting point can be reached that can be accepted by all parties in order to ensure that the resulting laws are of high quality, fair and beneficial to the people and for national interests," he explained.
At the opening of this DPR session, the inauguration of the replacement of the 2024-2029 term of office of the Golkar Faction in Central Kalimantan, Bias Layar, as a replacement for Mukhtarudin, who is now serving as Minister of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), was also carried out.
